| Description of the problem | For the past 2 months my subaru legacy has been stalling and losing power when i roll to a stop and/or when suddenly braking. Almost got rear ended by semi truck on the freeway and multiple times at stop lights in foggy situations. Subaru dealership said if it was an annoyance i should bring it in. Almost dying in a subaru with my daughters is more than an annoyance. Dealership has known about it but performed a throttle body service, which was futile. Online forums suggest a faulty torque converter and a service#16-90-30. Quotes for replacing it are around $2000. Subaru knows it is due to faulty design of torque converter... This should be recalled. I used to love subarus and this car, i am now forced to take a loss financially and buy a safer car. Completely unsafe. |
